My disease of compulsive overeating is fueled by my regrets of the past and worried fears of the future. The more I try to rewrite the past, which of course I cannot do, and the more I try to devise a future plan, which usually does not come to pass, the less I am present for my life.

I learn much from my three-year-old son. He may be running to get a ball and suddenly stop to look at an unusual insect he sees on the ground. His life flows and he abides by this pattern. He follows his heart and is "there" for life.

When I consciously stay present for life, when I savor each moment and stay with my feelings, I am alive and living. In the present there is no worry, no fear, no regrets.

One Day at a Time . . .
I ask my Higher Power to help me to stay present for my life, to stay with whatever is happening at any given moment. I feel feelings. I am spontaneous and life is exciting and inspired.
